I would like to get any flavor of Linux installed

old computers:
x86 Family 6 Model 7 Stepping 3 AT/AT Compatible 130,596 KB Ram
Intel (R) 4 CPU 1400 MHz 130,352 KB Ram
I know that x86 is a Pentium 3.
I have tried 2 different downloaded versions
of the single CD install:
Fedora 12 i686-LIVE
I don't want a dual boot - I want a clean install.
If you check the fedora site you can get a direct install iso. The
easiest one to grab is the dvd iso.
You probably have too little RAM for a graphical install. You might try
selecting a text install at the first (or so) screen.
The live-cd is intended to run from the CD so you can check that it will
run. There is an option to install from the running live-cd instance.
But you need more memory to get it to run at all, by the looks of it.
